I LOVE this! The image is so clear and crisp, and capturing the bee at that exact moment must not have been easy. I have one photo of a bee in a flower, and it was quite difficult to follow it around until the right moment. Well done!

Excellent initial impact. Good colours, focus amd DoF. Nicely subdued background creating additional impact for the subject. I know from photographing bees myself that they are not the easiest subjects. They are always on the move! You captured this one well.

Comment from The Condition Black
I love close-up shots like this. They are really cool about divulging all the little things we have a hard time seeing with the naked eye. On top of that you managed to capture a unique little moment with the bee collecting pollen. That's really cool.

Good contrast and tonal values. I like the adjustments. Good rule of thirds etc... you followed all the rules well.

Good luck in the contest; you have a very worthy picture!
